Top and Higgs Physics at the Tevatron

چکیده
We present a summary of our experimental understanding of the top quark and discuss the significant improvements expected in Run II at the Fermilab Teva-tron Collider. We also discuss prospects for a Higgs boson discovery at the Tevatron.

The pp̄ → tbH Process at the Tevatron in HERWIG and PYTHIA Simulations
Charged Higgs boson production in association with a top quark could be the first indication of the existence of Higgs particles. The Tevatron Run-II started data-taking in April 2001 at √ s = 1960 GeV and could probe the existence of a charged Higgs boson beyond the current mass limit. We study the pp̄ → tbH± production process with Monte Carlo simulations in HERWIG and PYTHIA, comparing expect...
متن کاملTop quark and charged Higgs at the Tevatron-Run II
We shortly review the top quark decay into charged Higgs, and present new results on its production at the upgraded Tevatron. We have computed the MSSM cross-section for single charged Higgs in association with the top quark beyond the regime of on-shell t t̄ production followed by the decay t → H b,. Our results are higher than recent results in the literature. In the case where H belongs to th...
متن کاملElectroweak and Top Physics at the Tevatron and Indirect Higgs Limits
We report a selection of the most recent CDF and D0 results on top quark and W and Z boson properties, based on Tevatron Run 2 data. The large datasets of W and Z bosons allow a very precise measurement of the W mass and detailed studies of vector boson production and asymmetries. Associated production of vector boson pairs has been observed and cross sections have been measured. The top quark ...
متن کاملPrecision measurements of the top quark mass from the Tevatron in the pre-LHC era.
The top quark is the heaviest of the six quarks of the standard model (SM). Precise knowledge of its mass is important for imposing constraints on a number of physics processes, including interactions of the as yet unobserved Higgs boson. The Higgs boson is the only missing particle of the SM, central to the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism and generation of particle masses. In this revi...

The top quark, the W-boson and the Higg boson form an interesting triptych of elementary particles. In the Standard Model knowing the mass of two of these particles, usually the top quark and W-boson, we can predict the mass of the third, the Higgs boson. Therefore in this proceedings I will primarily cover the following topics, top quark physics, W-boson mass and the light Higgs boson at the p...
